Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser travels exposed her to different landscapes, which she explored through her love of botany. From the humble fields and gardens at Lallybroch to the formal estate at Versailles and finally the socially constricting landscape of Boston, Claire not only learned more on plant uses as the Healer, White Witch, and a Doctor who could save your body without judgment or condemn your soul but also how they could tell a story. A story that stretched through space and time but remained through the aromas, textures, and colors of plants that allowed her to once again repeat history and survive without her true love. Today you too can create your own historical landscape designs based on what Claire saw in the gardens of her travels through time without leaving your home while breathing real-life into the story through plant experiences in your own backyard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the craft industry, an artist will leave a wee bit of themselves in every piece they make. It is a secret code or nod that tells a story about the artist, the story behind the art or the individual that will benefit from the art. It never looks out of place and unless you are told about this code, you would never observe it because it fits into the art with seamless perfection. While those admiring the art never see that little piece left behind by the artist, this unwritten code in itself tells a story of the artist and/or the beneficiary of the art. This secret code is referred to as the "Easter Egg." This same concept can be used to give a nod of realism to the Outlander love story without anyone being any wiser to your landscape design choices. This book is designed so that urban and landless gardeners can create their own Outlander inspired "Easter Eggs" that allows this timeless story to come to life through projects that stimulate the senses. It is organized by environments by which Jamie, Claire, and even Frank lived and visited. This includes Scotland, France, Boston, and even time at sea. In each one of these chapters, you will find Outlander inspired projects that tie into what the characters were experiencing at that time. While in Scotland both Frank and Claire along with Jamie and Claire, seemed to need stonewalls that appear all over Scotland to hold and sustain their love. In tribute to this, a mock dry stonewall project is presented that urban and landless gardeners can complete without stonemasons and become one with the texture of this mock stonewall. Numerous types of garden plans such as kitchen, vegetable, and even witch's garden are described in this chapter as to Jamie's second love and home-Lallybroch. These simple but functional garden plans tantalize the sense by taste and smell while allowing the gardener to walk in the steps of those at Lallybroch as they harvested the ingredients that would heal and sustain them.As informal and fun-loving as Scotland was for Jamie and Claire for awhile, the time in France was more of a formal affair and the gardening projects in this chapter follow suit. Many of the projects are a nod to the formal gardening design that Jamie and Claire would have seen at Versailles, France. This includes knot gardens, topiaries, and quincunx. But we all know that the Frasers did take time for a little bit of fun and games. Included is a living chess board that is fit for a King. The Time in Boston chapter is one where both the relation between Frank and Claire along with Jamie and Claire are presented. While Jamie did not go to Boston, there is a wee "Easter egg" that travels back in time to the carved "J" and "C" initials that Jamie and Claire exchanged. Frank never noticed nor understood the importance of Claire's humble scar, which was Claire's own "Easter egg." Other projects in this chapter include what can be called "pocket gardens" that encapsulate a time and situation in the storyline. The last chapter Time at Sea is filled with two light-hearted projects that really beckon back to a humorous time for Jamie and Claire along with a few other characters. But as we know, this joyous time is short-lived. To celebrate this blissful time before the "storm, a cute "Coco" planter along with a "turtle" plant stand graces this chapter.Regardless of which gardening project(s) you select for your Outlander inspired "Easter egg," you are supported through a garden primer that provides directions on how to do numerous gardening skills along with how to videos that can be found at the Outlander Botanist on YouTube.Whilst the directions for these projects are in most cases general in nature, this gives you the gardener the opportunity to truly cultivate an Outlander inspired "Easter egg" that touches your time traveling soul just as much as this timeless love story has impacted each one of us in a different way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Diana Gabaldon returns with the “vast and sweeping” (The Washington Post) newest novel in the epic Outlander series. War leaves nobody alone. Neither the past, the present, nor the future offers true safety, and the only refuge is what you can protect: your family, your friends, your home. Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1746, and it took them twenty years of loss and heartbreak to find each other again. Now it’s 1779, and Claire and Jamie are finally reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children, and are rebuilding their home on Fraser’s Ridge—a fortress that may shelter them against the winds of war as well as weather. But tensions in the Colonies are great: Battles rage from New York to Georgia and, even in the mountains of the backcountry, feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s teakettle. Jamie knows that loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long before the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is coming to terms with the mysteries of his identity, his future, and the family he’s never known. His erstwhile father, Lord John Grey, has reconciliations to make and dangers to meet on his son’s behalf and on his own, and far to the north, Young Ian Murray fights his own battle between past and future, and the two women he’s loved. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. Jamie sharpens his sword, while Claire whets her surgeon’s blade: It is a time for steel.
